Polling season

[MBK]

Passing time while studying neuroscience....yet the topic is interesting especially since in games like FM, the 1st option shows the players can show incredible margins of improvement, however fictitious such games are...Anyways post your fave...Plus have to mention this site really shows how comitted most of you are to lcfc..

I'll say New Board/Chairman because this club desperately needs some cash. It doesn't have be someone like Milan, just someone that can let us spend something.

[escape2victory]

a new chairman with cash, then everything else on that list can be done. Improving training facilities shouldnt be on the list.

[Strokes]

No point in having a load of cash, if the person spending it doesn't no what to do with it. I'm convinced that Kelly doesn't know what he is doing, as displayed by the fact he has requested funds for a new striker, when the problem is clearly in midfield. IMHO Kelly out.

[Thracian]

I went for new manager.

Not an easy decision but.

a) There is no sign that Kelly will pick the sort of attacking team which I believe would revive the club's fortunes and increase its attraction to the fans.

b) Even if he picked the team his tactics would stiffle its effect.

c) Tactically in general I think he's often misguided, unimaginative and ineffective.

d) He has not dealt with our major problems (attacking midfield/left-back etc) - indeed shows no signs of thinking we have such problems.

e) His transfer market acquisitions have been unimpressive and do not seem to have added anything to the team.

f) He is solid as a character rather than inspiring. Leicester need someone who captures the imagination more.

g) Kelly seems to ignore the need to play in a rousing style. His approach suggests that he has no concern for his responsibilities to the game as an attraction to paying fans. Too often he concedes the initiative and with it the chance of winning the match.

h) His teams never have the personnel to properly support sustained attack.

i) He clearly works hard as a coach but his efforts are not noticeably effective on the field, passing and moving is poor, free kicks often inaccurate and unimaginative, we don't retain possession well enough from the back.

j) Connected with the above there is never enough passing and moving due to peristing with people who haven't got the skill and energy to sustain such movement, or because they have their freedom restricted by instructions (which may be the case).

k) Far too many individuals are playing below their best for whatever reason.

l) Some of his decision making seems short-sighted. Selecting Sylla at Hereford, not blooding people at the end of last season, not putting Dodds on the bench.

m) Football is about scoring goals and we are really pathetic in that department which, seeing that most of our strikers have shown they can score, suggests there's something wrong elsewhere.

n) Perhaps worst of all, like Levein, nothing seems to change. We duplicate the same faults and limitations in our selections, our play and in our tactics week in and week out.

Many of you will disagree with some of the above - especially those who don't mind dour football so long as we're not relegated - but all are defensible and they add up to too many minuses and not enough vision.

I honestly prefer watching Rudkin/Beaglehole's teams, both the Academy X1 and those who played for the Reserves last season.

Even when they're beaten, which hasn't been often lately, they have a go, there's some excitement, something happening.

In fact the Academy side has been a real credit to the club for its results and its performance. I've not noticed that their attack-in-numbers approach has cost us much defensively. But the Academy defenders seem as comfortable on the ball as the attackers which is more than can be said for the first team.

[Thracian]

That they took him off after an hour suggests he's not fit yet. Otherwise, replacing Dodds is not the brightest thing to do because he can look so inconsequential - usually just before he scores!. You have to have faith in him.

And exactly how would a FOURTH manager in two years bring stability to our club, or improve our finances?

With the transfer window still two and a half months away, whoever took over would neither be able to bring new blood into the side nor clear out the deadwood.

So it's a question of making the most of what we have. The present playing staff have shown, in most cases, they have the ability to compete with virtually any side in this league. Their current underperformance is due to factors like organisation, tactics and motivation, which were all assets in Kelly's early months in charge but have now become areas of weakness.

So what has changed? Maybe Kelly should review the activities of the coaching staff and compare/contrast to what happened while Ray Graydon was here. A properly trained side would not have produced the type of inept home performances we have seen all too often in home matches this season. There is therefore no doubt in my mind where efforts to improve the side should be focused.

Even when that comes we have no money for him to deal with.

Rob Kelly is probabley under performing slightly with the players he has but bringing in a new manager will result in a slight improvment at best. Looking at our boards past appointments a new manager probabley result in us going down. :pinch:
